I moved to where he was coming from, the department sign caught my eyes. Psychiatrist department. What was he doing there? Or was he here to see someone?

Or was he suffering from a disease no one knows about? Not even his family? Various disturbing thoughts were running through my mind, but I couldn't find an answer to any of them.

"Excuse me," I called out to one of the nurses. "What kind of treatment can I receive here? Who are the patients here? Psychopaths?" I asked, grabbing her hand and staring directly in her eyes.

I knew I just sounded crazy, totally insane, but I couldn't help it. Curiosity was eating deep.

"I don't understand you," she answered, her brows meeting in confusion as she tried to wriggle out of my grip, but I held on tighter.

"If I suddenly feel the urge to do something, like something dangerous to people and I want to get treated, do I come here?" I asked, forcing a smile so it would feel less awkward.

Scratching the back of my head nervously, I added, "I'm a li

    A gasp escaped my lips as we got to the section for female dresses. Honestly, I'd never been to a place this expensive with beautiful dresses.Do I even have a dress? I do see them as a bother due to my kind of work. After the incident with Dad, I had to fend for myself and pay for mom bills too. I had worked as a waiter, a dishwasher, and a server... I did almost all the odd jobs."What do you think?" Diego said, snapping his finger to get my attention. "Do you have anyone that suits your taste?" He added.Furrowing my brows, I murmured, "They are all so beautiful. I don't even know which to choose." I kept feeding my eyes on the dresses, moving from one rack to another."Let me help you choose. I would want my wife to be stunning tonight," Diego said, signalling at an attendant who rushed over at once."I want the most expensive dress here, for her," he said, taking his seat on the cushion.The attendant faced me with a bright smile, checking me out. I could feel her gaze burning th

    His mouth fell open as he just stared at me in shock. It was a reaction I had expected. Who could have imagined that someone like me would get married into the Fernandez family?To think he was the same person who called me dumb and asked me to focus on my life just a few hours ago."H-how did you do it?" he asked.I chuckled softly, taking a step closer, covering the distance between us. My expression darkened as I frowned deeply. "What do you mean? He chose me as his bride. Isn't that simple enough for you to understand?" I retorted."But you hate him. You're always wishing for his downfall. You even challenged him openly and called him a murder. Or is this a show off?" he asked."You think so?" I said, staring at my perfectly manicured nails. "Too bad, but I'm actually married to him," I said without mincing words, showing off the ring resting pretty on my finger.I suddenly gasped, covering my mouth with a hand like I'd just remembered something. "Are you naturally dumb or just cl

    He stared at me in disbelief, his eyebrows meeting in confusion. "What do you mean by that?""This lady and another one planned to spike your drink! I heard them in the restroom," I explained, glaring at the lady, who shook in fright.At that moment, she tried running, but one of the guards went after her and brought her back."Don't cause a scene here. Take her in, I'll attend to her when I'm off the stage," Diego commanded, his expression darkening.I shivered at the look in his eyes, he looked like he could kill. "Thanks," he said to me. "For doing that.""Huh?" I muttered, absent-mindedly."You said you hated me, right? Then, why did you help me? If anyone was to do that, I didn't expect it from you," he uttered.He was actually right. It got me questioning myself why I really did that when I could have simply stayed quiet and act like I knew nothing. Whatever they were going to do with him was none of my business."You have such a good heart, Ellie," I mumbled, shaking my head.

    DIEGOMy breath turned raspy as I staggered towards the garage where the car was parked. I couldn't see clearly either, the pain became unbearable too. My skin turned bright red, just as usual. I was so focused on getting to my car that I didn't notice the lady coming from the other side.We bumped into each other and instantly, I felt my body slowly returning to normal. The itching and drowsiness reduced. I knew who it was instantly - my wife, Ellie. Only she had that effect on me.I wrapped my hand around her waist, pulling her closer, wanting to feel every part of her body on mine."Stay with me, please," I muttered with my eyes shut, sucking in a deep breath.For a while, I felt her frozen in my arms, and she slowly loosened up, bursting into laughter. "Are you drunk, Mr Fernandez?" she asked with a giggle. I had to break the hug to look at her face, sniffing the smell of alcohol immediately. Just how much did she drink?"How many glasses did you take? You should know your limit

    ELLIEI rolled on the bed, feeling reluctant to stand up. In addition, my head was throbbing like crazy. I wasn't sure what caused it, and I was too overwhelmed to think of anything."You must be awake?" I heard Diego's voice, making me snap my eyes open. The tiredness and throbbing head disappeared at once."What's going on here?" I asked, breathing heavily as I scanned the place. It was our room, but how did I get here? The last thing I remembered was stepping out to meet Marley and then.....A gasp escaped my lips as the scene replayed in my mind. "Did you really say that?" I asked, my eyes widening at each passing second.He grunted deeply, tucking his hands in his pockets. "What's that?""Something like I should stay with you...." I let my voice trail off, my brows meeting in confusion. "Or was it a bad dream?""A bad dream?" He repeated with a dark chuckle. "What do you mean? If I say something like that, then it's a nightmare?" "Of course! Why would you say something so cring

    My face contorted with a frown. If he thinks an apology cuts it, then he was in all shades wrong. He had humiliated me, suspended me, slashed my pay by half, fired me unjustly, and even threw me out of the apartment. "Why are you suddenly apologizing? When you hung up the phone on me, you didn't sound this docile. What changed?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at him. Of course, I knew the answer already, but still wanted him to answer. I had a pretty ring on my finger from Diego Fernandez and was officially recognized as his wife. Truly, a person's status defines him. "What do you mean? I have to apologize for how I treated you. You are one of your best staff. If you want, I can approve your contract and make you a permanent staff," he said, all in a bid to falter me. I puffed out air from my mouth, getting pissed at how he was beating around the bush. "Here," I said, pointing at the ring on my finger. "It's because of this, right? It's because I'm married to Diego Fernandez, righ

    My mouth dropped open in shock. Did she just say grandkids like children? Like Diego and I having sex and producing babies?"Is there another meaning to it, Ellie? That's exactly what she meant," my subconscious mind pointed out."Actually, I want five grandkids," she continued, staring into space dreamily. I didn't think she noticed the reaction I had."About four boys and a beautiful girl," she added almost immediately.I blinked my eyes. This woman was unbelievable. Everything about her was. She never ceases to amaze me with her words. We just got married, and she was talking about kids already? Who does that? And it's not even one, but five?!"Scratch what I said. I already have two boys and they are handfuls. How about three girls and two boys?" She asked, looking at me with a wide grin.It was then she finally noticed the look on my face. She took my hand, her eyes searching mine. "Sweetie, what's wrong?" She asked."Nothing," I replied, forcing a smile."What do you think?" Sh

    I felt the hairs on my body rise at the ends. The idea of wearing lingerie cringes me out. I tried picturing myself in it, but damn! So uncomfortable and awkward. "What do you think? Do you want to try them out?" Scarlet asked, her voice jolting me out of my thoughts."Huh? No! Of course not!" I replied almost immediately. Scarlet looked surprised at my retort, so I added to clear the air, "I mean, I don't think I need that. Diego and I are good." "What's with the blush on your cheeks though? Are you shy, sweetie?" She chuckled, giving signals to the attendant, who came to my side. "Let's go to the dressing room, ma'am," the attendant said. I turned to Scarlet, shaking my head and putting on a pitiful look. "How about Jade? She needs one too," I said. "Jade and Marley have been married for a long time now, I don't think that is necessary. But I can still get one for her," Scarlet answered. "You and Diego are new couples, you need to keep the romance fresh," she added, grinning al

    DIEGOMy gaze darkened as I entered the conference room. The first person my eyes fell on was Marley, who was standing in front of the board of directors. Our eyes met, and he paused, his eyes grew wide in surprise. Sure, he hadn't expected my presence so soon. I returned his shocking look with a faint smile.Marley swallowed hard, the corner of his mouth twitching like he was searching for what to say. He finally uttered, "Look who we have here. I never knew you as the type who would come late for important meetings like this. Did something happen?" His lips curved into a seemingly genuine smile, but I knew better.He added, "Or have you always been naturally irresponsible?" His words were harsh, but his smile didn't waver. That didn't make it less taunting. Rather, I'd say he sucked at it—trying to play a nice brother while dragging me through the mud and staining my image. "Thanks for looking out for me, brother. What matters most is that I am here now," I replied plainly, turn

    I blinked rapidly, struggling to process his words. Had I misheard him?"What if I didn’t kill your father? Would you stay?" he asked in a low voice, breathing heavily. My brows knitted together. "What are you talking about?"I couldn’t wrap my head around it. What game was he playing now? The victim's act?"There's no 'what if' in this, Diego," I said with a slight chuckle, though there was no humor in it. "You killed my dad. That’s a fact."I hated how skeptical I sounded—like a part of me still doubted the truth. Jade had confirmed it. Dad’s body was found in Diego's office. What more proof did I need?Diego didn’t respond. He only held onto me tighter, as if letting go would make me slip away.After a moment, he pulled away, a faint smile tugging at his lips. "I think I'm okay now," he murmured."What just happened?" I asked, my patience wearing thin. "You were saying something about my father?"He exhaled sharply, his gaze flickering with something unreadable. "Is there even a p

    Marley's eyes glimmered with interest, he took a few steps closer to me. "What do you mean by Diego is sick?" He inquired, with a raised eyebrow. "That's all I've got to tell you," I replied, not wanting to give in so much detail. I hated Diego and I wanted to get revenge, but Marley doesn't seem like the right guy to tell all of those. I'd rather keep it to myself.He used a finger to raise my chin, making sure I maintained eye contact with him. He squinted his eyes, staring at me intensely. "Are you being serious? Remember, it's your mother's life on the line."I swallowed hard, averting my gaze elsewhere. "Stay away from my mom," I muttered."That depends on how you act, Ellie. Go ahead and tell me everything you know. Don't skip even the slightest detail, I want to hear everything," he urged me.I sighed deeply, feeling regretful and helpless. What had I gotten myself into?"I stumbled across a file in his study room. It's a diagnosis note from the doctor. I didn't get to read t

    Jade let out a deep sigh, taking my hand in hers. She caressed it softly, staring straight into my eyes. "Diego..." She paused, letting her voice trail off. My vision became blurry as tears clouded my eyes. At the mention of Diego, my heart dropped. What else was I thinking? Perhaps, for a moment while staring at his face in the hospital, I had thought it wouldn't be him. He fucking looked so innocent!"Go on," I urged her."I shouldn't be telling you this, but I've seen you desperately trying to find a clue. I just thought I should give my own cent. Just a little bit I know," she said.Chuckling, she added, "You might be wondering why I'm saying this to you now after keeping quiet the whole time. I want you to know that you are a good person, and you do not deserve the pains this family has put you through. When Marley told me who you were, I felt pity for you.""Thank you so much, Jade," I could only mutter a response, my voice barely audible, I was too overwhelmed to speak.All

    For a moment, my body felt numb. I just remained in his arms, stiff."Push him away, Ellie!" My mind screamed. That was my intention, but my arms became too weak to move. My eyes snapped shut, savoring the impact of his lips on mine. I didn't kiss him back, but I didn't push him away either. "Oh my God!" I heard Anne's voice and that seemed to snap me out of whatever spell he had used on me.I pushed him away, and he landed on the other side of the bed. A groan escaped from him, but I didn't care. Standing up in my defense, I tried explaining it to them in case they got the wrong idea. "It's not what you think. We weren't kissing, he was trying to....remove dirt from my eyes. Why would he kiss me?" I jumbled up nonsense, blurting out whatever came to my mind.I darted my eyes between them, scratching the back of my hair nervously. "It's really not what you think," I muttered."You're so funny, Mrs. Fernandez. Why are you trying to explain it to us? What's wrong with a husband kissi

    Anne took out her phone to make a call, stepping away to the living room. "Is there anything you can do? Aren't you a doctor? Please do something," I said to Matteo, who squatted beside me. He took Diego's hand, feeling his pulse. "He still has a pulse, so he'll be okay. I don't see the need for him to go to a hospital… "I already called for an ambulance, and they'll be here in a bit," Anne said, cutting him off. He raised his hand in surrender. "I guess he has to go to a hospital," he muttered. In no time, the paramedics arrived and Diego was wheeled into the ambulance on a stretcher. I meant to get into the van, but one of the paramedics stopped me. "Who are you to him?" "I am his wife!" I responded without giving it a second thought, I was growing impatient. "We are married. Officially." I waved my hand in his face, showing off the ring on my finger. We were conveyed to the nearest hospital, and Diego was taken into the ward immediately. I paced around the hallway

    I shouldn't be mad at Diego for sleeping out. We weren't like every other couple who married for love. Well, not all couples, but most do... Maybe a few. Glancing at Matteo's wife from the corner of my eyes, I noticed she had an amused expression on her face. I forced a smile. "Did I over-talk?" She chuckled, shaking her head. "No. I like you already. If you'd said that you were living fine with Diego, I would have dismissed it as a lie. Diego can be really, really annoying," she said, placing emphasis on the 'really, really'. And she wasn't wrong about that."It just sucks," I pouted, taking time to admire her kitchen set-up. "There's no marriage that is a hundred percent flawless, okay? You just have to embrace each other's flaws and make the best out of it," she advised. Lowering her voice in a whisper, she added, "Even Matteo can be frustrating sometimes." I puffed out air from my mouth, letting out a deep sigh. "I don't think there's any need to get used to it since I'll be

    I swallowed hard, feeling my throat tighten. I couldn't produce a sound, couldn't say a word. My heart was beating fast as I clutched on the paper, rumpling it in the process. "Did you make me drunk for this? To go over my things? What exactly are you looking for? A proof?" He continued. My eyes widened at once. The fact he said the word 'proof' means that he knows exactly why I had married him. Then, why did he play along the whole time, acting like he knew nothing? He took slow strides towards me, his expression was surprisingly calm. Unconsciously, I took a step back in fright. I did that till my back hit the wall and there was no place for me to escape to. "And did you see what you are searching for?" He added with a smirk, putting a hand on the wall. My breath caught in my throat. "You... You are sick?" I found myself asking. His eyes fell on the paper and he snatched it from me. "I don't appreciate anyone touching my things, wifey," he said plainly, his voice lacking emo

    Cursing under my breath, I walked briskly away from Derek. What did I just do? "You must be crazy, Ellie," I muttered, biting the inside of my mouth. Somehow, Matteo's words played in my head. I shook off the thoughts, not believing I just said that. Proudly saying that I was Mrs. Fernandez was something I least expected. I mean, I had agreed with Diego, according to his damned rules, not to show off our marital status in public. I must be going crazy. A groan escapes my lips as I bumped into Jade. "Who is he to you?" She asked, looking ahead. With a grimace, I narrowed my eyes at the direction she was looking at and my gaze fell on Derek. Hadn't he left already? "He's no one," I murmured in response. "Really? Why am I not believing that?" She asked, her lips curling up with a mischievous smile. "I said he is no one. Believe it or not," I retorted, my voice strained. I wasn't about explaining my history with Derek, tsk, long story. I moved away, leaving her with h
